Push your 4K TV to it's peak picture performance

Want to see your new Samsung QLED or 4K TV at its best? Place an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc into the Samsung UBD-M9500 4K Blu-ray player's tray. 4K Blu-ray discs offer the absolute best picture quality available today. And Samsung's top-of-the-line player delivers an incredibly sharp, premium picture, even when you sit up close.

Samsung's "premier player" offers more

The UBD-M9500 player has versatile connection options, including two HDMI outputs for separating video and audio. Plus it has two-way Bluetooth. That means you can play music wirelessly from your phone, or send movie audio wirelessly from the player to a pair of Bluetooth headphones.

The Samsung UBD-M9500 features a sturdy disc drive to prevent vibration.

Beautiful, lifelike picture contrast

I think High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the most exciting aspect of Ultra HD Blu-ray. It allows compatible TVs to display extremely bright and dark black picture content together within the same image. (Think tiny stars peeking through the pitch-black night sky.)

This also has Hollywood buzzing. It's given directors a brilliant visual palette to play with — subtle, delicate lighting, sparks of brightness, and true-to-life shading and shadows.

Samsung gives you more 4K viewing options — yep, including Netflix®

Have you ever seen the vibrant Colombian landscapes of Narcos in 4K? It is really something else. And the deeper shading and detail make scenes in small cafés feel even more claustrophobic.

When you connect this player to your home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you get several 4K streaming options including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and M-Go. Plus, you can watch 4K video clips on YouTube.

Don't throw out your old discs!

You can still enjoy all your old standard Blu-rays and DVDs on this player. Samsung made 4K upconversion a top priority for the UBD-M9500. Their UHD Upscaling automatically upconverts any signal to 4K resolution. All of your movies and shows will look better than ever.

Find out how great the picture is on your new QLED TV (sold separately) with the Samsung UBD-M9500

Impressive sound and music options

Along with the state-of-the-art picture, your movies will sound amazing too. The Samsung UBD-K9500 has built-in support for the highest-quality surround sound formats, like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS Master Audio™. It also plays Dolby Atmos®-encoded discs (just set the HDMI audio output to "bitstream" when connected to an Atmos-capable receiver).

This Ultra HD player's no slouch when it comes to music, either. You can play music from a CD or stream tunes from services like Pandora® or Spotify®. You can even wirelessly connect to a compatible networked PC via DLNA technology and play songs from your computer.

Samsung's smart hub is smarter than most

This player's brain is a super-speedy eight-core processor — the same found in Samsung's latest high-end TVs, Galaxy phones, and tablets. It lets you do serious multitasking. You can browse the web without having to interrupt your movie, or use one app while downloading another. Plus Samsung's on-board selection of apps is pretty stacked — streaming video, sports leagues, music, games, you name it.

Project images to your screen

While newer phones are getting harder to cram into pockets, sometimes the screens still aren't large enough for certain tasks. Maybe you want to share a video or picture with a group of people. Wirelessly "push" the display to your TV's big screen through the Samsung UBD-M9500. Allshare™, Samsung's take on Miracast™ technology, mirrors the screen of your compatible mobile device, tablet, or computer screen for everyone to see.

Samsung UBD-M9500

I made the switch from a Sony DVD player to this 4k Blu Ray player. I now enjoy upgraded picture and sound quality. I bought the player on sale for $100 less than the normal price, so I received a great value, as well. Crutchfield service is icing on the cake; nobody takes care of customers the way they do.

Nice, and Functional.

Very clear, noise free picture. One coaxial audio out only. Can use the HDMI out if you connect it to a receiver. Very quiet operation, fast and quiet disc loading.
Looks nice, and elegant remote, functional and simple. Strong WIFI reception.
Lots of apps, mostly covers 95% of what an average user like me would need/use. Supports Spotify, Pandora, Netflix, Amazon Prime video,....

WOW!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE PICTURE!!!

When I called Crutchfeild, and spoke with Chuck, he helped me decide on this 4k player. His professionalism, knowledge, and great attitude, made this a very easy choice for me to buy.Whe I bought this player, I wanted the "Top of the LINE" that Samsung had to offer. This 4k player is beyond amazing. This was very simple to set up, 1 HDMI wire, that's it. Very sleek, beautiful addition to my home theater, blends with the Onkyo RZ820 I just bought 3 months ago from Crutchfeild. NOTE: I did splurge on the wiring for my home theater system. I use AudioQuest "Cinnamon" cables throughout the entire system. Does it cost a LOT more??? Yes??? Is it really WORTH it??? YES. In my opinion, you can definately see the differance in the pic quality, with these cables.
The 4k pic with a 4k disk,,,,breath taking!! The built in upscaling is a Godsend, for your Bluerays. The improvement it makes on your old Bluerays, is a MUST see.
I would reccomend this for anyone on any budget.

Pros:Very affordable , Beautiful to look at
Easy to install/Use. Delivered super fast, (2days). System integrates easily with your existing home system.
I could not be happier.

Great DVD player!

I will base this on this models earlier model from a year ago. If you own a 4k TV, you need a true 4k dvd player to show how great the picture really is. I have a large screen Samsung 4k TV that comes to life when playing a 4k dvd on this player. This picture is crystal clear, sound unsurpassed, and it works seamlessly with my TV. I have to add that I have a complete home theater system from Crutchfield that makes you feel like you are in the theater. I am adding that I have purchased this dvd player, but am painting the room and anticipate this player will shine as brightly as the previous M8500 that I based this review on.

Pros:Sleek player in Black/grey that looks as good as it plays. Works seamlessly with your smart TV, and has an easy to use remote.

Cons:You will need to keep the remote handy. I keep mine next to the player when I have a movie.

Samsung UBD-M9500

I bought the M9500 to pair with a Q9 TV. The performance is great. The remote is easy to use. The upscaling from regular DVDs and BDs is amazing. My son dropped in an Avatar BD, the CGI and the colors were mesmerizing.

A great step up in 4K

I bought one of the first 4K Samsung DVD players,and was pleased with what I was seeing and hearing.Then unfortunately think happen forcing me to have to replace it with a new/another one.being a fan of Samsung I went back to them and after looking at their current models an chose UBD-M9500. I was so happy that I did I couldn't believe how much different The picture quality was so much better now and home screen menu so much better now the ÀV and my Samsung 4K 65"curve communicate back and forth with the remote switching to different options.is a real plus.

televisions, and 27x as many pixels as Standard Definition televisions

Wider Color Gamut: Ultra HD Blu-ray can display over
75% of the visible color spectrum; this is known as "Wider Color Gamut".
That's more than twice the color range of current Ultra-HD TVs.

HDR (High Dynamic Range):
Ultra HD Blu-ray also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. Dynamic range
is the difference between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks on
screen. HDR means that scenes with high contrast can be shown with much
greater clarity and detail.

Greater Capacity & Speed: Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs
will be available in a dual layer 66 gigabyte disc and a triple layer 100
gigabyte disc.
Ultra HD Blu-ray can stream video up to a maximum of 108/128
Mbps for 66Gb and 100Gb discs.

Backward Compatible: Ultra
HD Blu-ray players will play all current Blu-ray Disc & DVD content. When
connected to a current Ultra-HD TV television, the player will output a standard
Ultra-HD TV signal. Ultra HD Blu-ray players will support existing Blu-ray media,
as well as provide down conversion and HDR to SDR conversion functionality
to match the connected television's capabilities.

Note: Like standard BD, Ultra HD Blu-ray discs use region
codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your
player, otherwise the disc will not play. This Blu-ray player is region A

to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In
order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to

to upgrade the player's software & firmware for these performance improvements &
additional services. You can upgrade via Network or USB.

"Sub" HDMI output to send audio only to your AV receiver and the "Main"
HDMI to send only video to your Ultra-HD TV (this is a great option for when you
have an Ultra-HD TV, but an AVR receiver that does not support 4K or HDR). The HDMI output resolution can be set to

WCR (Wider Color Range): The Samsung UBD-M9500 supports up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full

surpassing the digital cinema standard. As a result, you'll get to enjoy
realistic picture quality like never before.

Use the optical connection. You won't be able to hear any difference.
[ Nathan Feb 03, 2018 ]

HDMI, is going give a better sound quality,I use my Onkyo 5020 with my Samsung Curve , picture quality and sound are out of this world. I still have to not say anything when visit with family over by watching their set up.
[ David Feb 03, 2018 ]

I personally am using the optical. The optical is dedicated to delivering audio, whereas the hdmi delivers both. That can cause a little okie in your audio. I find the optical connection gives you the cleanest possible audio connection. Hope that helps.
[ JOSHUA D Feb 03, 2018 ]

Not sure if this is any help. My 9500 is connected directly to TV with HDMI. I don't have a 'receiver' and have a Bose speaker system connected directly to TV with an Optical connection. This is enough amplification for me. Lyle
[ Lyle Feb 02, 2018 ]

The M9500 has a Smart Hub installed in it. The color is better.
[ tiffany Aug 31, 2017 ]

Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget.
